Do you love your smartphone? You smartphone loves you too, and the best example proving this is a life taking incident that took place this past Monday in Winter Garden, Florida, United States.
Okay the story begins all like this, from the Hess gas station, in Winter Garden, Florida, Stateside, it was early morning, when a man entered the crime scene and asked the on-duty staff clerk to help him find a specific beverage. But waiting no longer the armed thief pulled out his revolver and demanded the clerk to open the safe, where the staff was reportedly unable to open the safe. Then came in another staff to the store, where he was too threatened and asked to open the safe.
But when both the store workers efforts failed to open the safe locker, the mugger fired a gunshot when he cited the police coming. And when the emergency service workers were called to the scene, one of the worker made a note of a chest pain.

And here comes the twist, the 12 millimeters thick HTC EVO 3D smartphone retained the bullet from entering his flesh. Actually the chest pain was caused due to the high impact of the bullet shot that hit the phone that was left in the victim's chest pocket.

"I've seen individuals get shot with low-caliber handguns and I've seen it be life ending. So, for this gentleman to be as lucky as he is, it's a good day for us," said the Winter Garden Police Lt. Scott Allen.
As the stateside, Winter Garden Police department is still behind the suspect, accordingly following this breath taking incident, HTC have gifted the victim with a brand new HTC One to replace his bullet proof phone, the EVO 3D, literally. "If anybody deserves a new #HTCOne, it's this guy: http://s.htc.com/HdMPpN . Enjoy the "Glad You’re OK" care package," quoted HTC yesterday on their official Twitter account.
